500L PROFESSIONAL Whisky Still + GIN BOX

500L PROFESSIONAL Whisky Still + GIN BOX

Introducing the 500L PROFESSIONAL Whisky Still + GIN BOX, a high-quality, large-capacity still designed for the distillation of gin, whisky and rum. It is particularly recommended for working with grain fermentations, other fermented liquids and molasses.

This model is made from 2.5 mm thick hammered copper and features a GIN BOX with a botanicals basket, allowing distillation by vapour infusion or maceration. In addition, the included transfer pipe makes it possible to use the still without the botanicals box.

⚗️ Capacity and yield

This model has a total capacity of 550 litres and a working boiler capacity of 500 litres. The approximate distillation time is 6 to 8 hours.

Based on an initial fermented wash with an alcohol content of 10% ABV, the estimated yield is between 10% and 15% of the working capacity, equivalent to approximately 50–75 litres of distillate per run.

The final quantity obtained and the duration of each distillation may vary depending on the characteristics of the fermented wash and the operating conditions.

🔨 Professional hammered copper construction

The still is made from 2.5 mm thick hammered copper sheet, giving it a traditional and distinctive finish. It features bright brass handles and nuts. All joints are soldered to provide a solid, strong and durable construction.

🌿 GIN BOX with botanicals basket

This model includes a GIN BOX with a botanicals basket, designed for gin distillation using vapour infusion or maceration.

The equipment also includes a transfer pipe, allowing the still to be used without the GIN BOX. This gives you the flexibility to distil with or without the botanicals box, depending on the type of distillation required.

🌡️ Instrumentation and distillation control

The still is equipped with several measuring instruments installed at different points, allowing you to monitor the main variables throughout the distillation process:

🌡️ Two large thermometers (0–120 °C): one is installed in the still head to monitor the temperature of the gases and vapours as they pass through, while the other is fitted to the condenser to monitor the cooling system temperature.

🌡️ Vertical thermometer in the boiler (0–120 °C): allows you to monitor the temperature of the wash during heating and distillation.

🔧 Pressure gauge in the boiler: allows you to monitor the internal pressure of the equipment.

🍶 Alcoholmeter with thermometer: allows you to measure the alcohol strength of the distillate and monitor its temperature. A dedicated alcoholmeter stand is also included for convenient use.

🛡️ Safety and maintenance features

The 500L PROFESSIONAL Whisky Still + GIN BOX incorporates several features designed to support safe operation and facilitate maintenance:

🔒 Safety valve in the boiler: fitted to protect the equipment against excessive pressure.

🔩 Brass connections between the boiler and still head: provide the connection and ensure a secure seal between both components.

🚪 Boiler access door: made from stainless steel, it provides access to the interior for cleaning and maintenance.

💧 2.5-inch drain pipe with valve: allows the remaining liquid to be drained from the boiler. It is made from stainless steel or brass.

🔥 Professional burner and included supports

The still is supplied with a 70 cm diameter professional gas burner, compatible with butane and propane. A version suitable for natural gas is also available on request.

It also includes iron supports for the boiler, GIN BOX and condenser, providing stability and allowing the different components to be positioned correctly.
